The USCGA does follow DoDMERB standards. In theory, if you are qualified for other service academies, you are qualified medically for the USCG and the USCGA. You only need one examination for all of the service academies, so you will only need to submit your medical paperwork when they ask for it. The Medical exam is completed after the application process is complete. If you require a waiver, individual academies will consider the situation differently. One may grant you a waiver, while one will not approve one. Good luck!

I wish Objee would step in here and verify this.
Does the USCG follow the Dodmerb steps or do they evaluate differently.If so,when does it come up on the application?Also,if deemed qualified for the other academies thru Dodmerb does that mean you qualified for USCG?
I think most of your questions have been answered. USCGA does use DODMERB. It does have slightly different requirements from the DODMERB exam. In other words, one DODMERB is sufficient for all the Academies use, but they may have different requirements of it. Also, at least for USCGA, you will not receive authorization to get a DODMERB exam unless and until you have been determined to be a qualified candidate based on your completed application.
